What Causes Dry, Scaly, Patches In Pubic Area?
Question: I shave my pubic area from time to time....about 2 months ago, I got a prescription for a fungus......after I took the prescription for 2 weeks I appeared to not have any problems, or dry patches in my pubic area. I just had intercourse with a partner, and it appears that my pubic area has the dry, scaly, patchiness look again..no redness or pain....why is this?...I have no hair in this area...and when I take a shower it seems to go away, but afterwards, I get the dry spots again
